Precedent Study


Currently the 2 projects I have chosen to study are Boston's "Big Dig" and the reuse of a silo structure into a rock climbing facility.

The Big Dig study is interesting as it looks at how the left over space of an arterial road can be incorporated into the city fabric. I will also take this further to look at how the materials of the former arterial structure can be used in the formation of a new building.

Whilst the Silo rock climbing wall does not involve a piece of infrastructure left over by cars, it does however show a unique and interesting approach to using a structure whose design and form were specific to its function.
